New to Chowhound?

Known for its award winning ' Giant Lobster prepared multiple ways '. This 18 years old icon has quite a few other wonderful dishes under its repertoire. One such favorite and a rare treat is an - "Oil poached/Deep fried whole live Thai Goby Fish with chili infused premium top soy dipping sauce". At around $60 for a two pounder, this is indeed great value for money.So good! We devoured the whole ' crispy outside, moist and meaty inside ' fish from head to tail...crunchy crisp fins and bones included! Paired very nicely with an off dry, Dr.Loosen Sparkling Riesling!

Bun Bo Hue is the second most popular traditional Vietnamese soup after Pho, this one originating in the city of Hue in Central Vietnam (translated to English Bun means noodles, and Bo means beef).
